Chapter 1332: Chapter 1333: The Doctor Has Already Left

"Who are you guys, and what do you want to do..." The staff stepped forward to stop them, but before he got close, he was slammed against the wall behind him. The player holding the photo pressed him remotely and asked, "Where is this person?"

"Dr. Duor has already left..." The staff struggled to say, "The players hired by the Secondary City took him away hours ago..."

The player suddenly exerted more force, "Do you think I’m an idiot? With so many players here, you would easily hand someone over?"

"I’ve been watching you guys from outside for a long time, and no one has left at all. Hand the person over honestly, or I’ll start killing!"

"Wait... Are you really people hired by the Secondary City?" The staff questioned, "You’re from another laboratory..."

Before he finished speaking, his throat was once again grabbed. The man holding the photo walked up to him and contemptuously slapped his cheek. "I know you scientists like to be fussy. Talking nicely might not get through to you. Our mission is just to deliver the person alive to the Secondary City. We won’t handle their day-to-day care like bodyguards. We only need the brain after all. Losing a hand or a foot shouldn’t be a big deal."

The staff looked at him with hatred. At this moment, two older staff members came out, saw the situation, and immediately said, "Dr. Duor has left. If you don’t believe it, come check the surveillance footage!"

The player squinted his eyes, staring at the two for two seconds before letting the person go, motioning for them to lead the way, and warned, "If you dare lie, you know the consequences."

The two led them to the surveillance room with unpleasant looks, thinking that Xu Huo and Qiu Ming were in cahoots with them, and said, "If you want to see, come along too, to avoid constant trouble!"

The player holding the photo of Dr. Duor had four companions, two of whom followed inside, while two stayed outside. They ignored Xu Huo and Qiu Ming, not caring whether they were there for the instance quest or not.

Xu Huo motioned to Qiu Ming to follow and went to watch the footage together.

The surveillance footage indeed showed that three hours ago, three players had taken Dr. Duor away. They were not only more polite but also took maximum care of Dr. Duor’s requests and even showed their contract of employment by the Dongfeng Laboratory.

"What the hell is the contract?" Qiu Ming blurted out.

The other three clearly didn’t expect something like this either, but they didn’t dwell on it because dungeon players can start from either city. It’s entirely possible that players who reached the Secondary City first came to the Capital City and took the person away using their advantage.

"Without Dr. Duor, we can’t clear the level," Xu Huo mumbled, "I wonder how far those people have gone..."

After hearing this, the others exchanged glances and immediately left the surveillance room.

"They went to pursue them. Let’s hurry!" Qiu Ming urged the unmoving Xu Huo.

"No rush," Xu Huo said, waiting until those five players had gone far before turning back to the staff and asking, "Can I see the other footage?"

"What footage..." The staff was stunned for a second, saw Xu Huo pointing to the room next door, and his eyes widened slightly, "How do you know there’s another surveillance room next door?"

"Two surveillance rooms?" Qiu Ming, puzzled, followed behind Xu Huo, "The previous footage was genuine. I saw the front door, rear door, garbage chute, and the corridors were all covered."

"I didn’t say the surveillance routes were fake," Xu Huo replied, pulling out the storage disk in the adjacent room, "That surveillance can’t cover the entire laboratory."

He found the footage from twenty minutes ago. Sure enough, several people left from another part of the laboratory, but there was no sign of them taking anyone.

"We ran into these people just now," Qiu Ming remembered the cars they brushed past.

"These are also people who came for Dr. Duor," the staff explained, "Even after being told he had already left, they didn’t believe it. They insisted on searching the entire lab before they left."

"If you don’t believe it, you can search it yourself," the elder man said angrily, "But be careful when you’re looking. The equipment in the lab is very expensive!"

Xu Huo looked at the white-haired elder among the three, "Has Dr. Duor really left?"

"Your two colleagues don’t know, but you should."

"The video clearly shows that some of the players who arrived three hours ago recognized the staff, pretending not to know each other. I can only think of one possibility: those people were deliberately sent by Chunsun Laboratory to handle the endless stream of players."

"Is that the case?"

He asked the white-haired elder, who was a bit surprised but then said, "Didn’t expect you to see through their acquaintance. So many players arrived before, only you noticed."

"That’s right, those players were indeed arranged by us, to put on a show to protect Dr. Duor. Recently, many players have come to Twin Cities looking for Dr. Duor. We can’t figure out if they want to protect him or harm him. Some come with hostility, not looking like good people. Because of this, most of the lab staff is on leave... Even if someone claims to send Dr. Duor to the Secondary City, we dare not trust them, so we found reliable players to take him away."

"They might be acting in the video, but Dr. Duor is indeed no longer in the lab. You came for nothing."

Qiu Ming used the lie detector prop, "He’s telling the truth."

Xu Huo nodded, motioning for him to hand the lie detector prop to the staff, "We indeed received a game task to send Dr. Duor to the Dongfeng Laboratory. You can use the prop to verify whether we’re speaking the truth."

Qiu Ming conducted a simple test in front of the three, proving the prop’s effectiveness, and repeated Xu Huo’s words. The lie detector concluded they were truthful. "With this assurance, can you tell us the direction the hired players took?"

The elder hesitated for a moment, "For safety reasons, we don’t know the specific route, but they entered Heaven’s Ladder through the Huaiye Canyon. If you’re quick, you might be able to catch up."

The lie detector confirmed this as true.

Xu Huo glanced and said, "Thanks, if we catch up, we’ll definitely deliver Dr. Duor to the Secondary City."

"Let’s go."

Calling for Qiu Ming, the two walked toward the lab’s exit. As they opened the door, a small shadow quickly flashed by outside, unnoticed by others.

Xu Huo pretended not to see it, exited the laboratory, and contacted Cao Qinglin, asking if she had found the car to pick them up at the laboratory.

As they moved toward where Cao Qinglin was located to rendezvous, the players who forcefully entered the laboratory earlier just left.
